Hello!
Welcome to the revamped, refreshed and rehomed Bowler Fern Editorial website.
So, what’s new?
I’ve taken advantage of a relatively fallow period between fictional editing contracts to work on my skill sets in a number of areas. Those relevant to this blog are:
- that I am now an advanced user of Word
- that I’m getting to grips with website management and maintenance (without acquiring excess grey hair)
But mainly, I am now the owner of two shiny charter marks for editing and proofing from the College of Media and Journalism. I’ve actually been editing in a voluntary and paid capacity for fifteen years, doing some ghostwriting along the way, but it’s nice to see that experience ratified with a big rubber stamp of approval from an education service with a ruthlessly precise testing scheme.
With the qualification to back up the experience, I’m branching out beyond fiction editing very soon, which is just one of many reasons that I wanted to give the website and business a little bit of an overhaul.
So, over the coming months, you’ll see additions to this site, resource material being uploaded, and the occasional blog featuring varied technical software tips as well as writing articles.
It won’t be a rapid process, however. It was only last month that I wouldn’t have recognised a widget if it had slapped me around the face. But at least we’re up and running now. I’m looking forward to making this little site a welcoming place for writing friends to get in touch and for my fellow editing fiends to touch base and maybe share resources and referrals (should they so wish).
Until next time, may your universe expand pleasantly 😊
Coming soon…
